JUDGE OKAYS FORD SETTLEMENTS
Ford will pay $10.6 million to settle claims of age discrimination - so
said a Michigan judge on Thursday. Reuters cites the AARP, which helped
some of the plaintiffs with their cases, which told the news service that
Ford would pay eight primary plaintiffs as much as $100,000 each, with the
remaining 425 receiving as much as $50,000. The suits were filed as Ford
instituted then scrapped a performance rating system during the Nasser
tenure that some employees felt discriminated against older workers.
